How To Annoy Seth

4. Call him nicknames (for example...) that have nothing to do with his actual name.

5. Call him nicknames that have something to do with his actual name but that he hates (example: BETH).

6. Get really bored in the car and decide to scat (and really put your heart into it), even though you don't know how.

7. Put your lips on his lips and try to carry on a conversation. (Though he has developed a defense for this one: He blows out as hard as he can into your mouth, which is annoying. But do your best to keep it up!)8. Hold a ceramic frog in his face while he's trying to type up notes from a meeting.9. Pretend to forget to turn off the bedside lamp when going to sleep until he asks at least twice. Every night (See #2).

10. Hide things (like wooden blocks or pants) inside his pillowcase.

11. Distort passages from the scriptures for your own purposes. (For example: "Seth. If you love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS!!")

I have been working hard to become The Authority on this topic, but my research is still incomplete. I will keep you updated on my discoveries as more time goes by.

P.S. I haven't been commenting on your recent posts, but trust me--I loved 'em. I can't get enough of you, Dani. When I was in Danville (I went recently to look for homes), I kept thinking about how you took me under your wing when my family moved there. You are da bomb. Sorry to post a sappy sentimental comment in your comments section.

Dani, you are such a good writer. You made me laugh out loud, especially because I (very well) pictured you doing those things. I think the pillowcase one qualifies for an excellent sneak of the week. This made me miss you.

About Me

I've got a two boys, born in 2010 and 2012 (respectively). I've also got a husband. He is a "policy analyst" (interpret those quote marks as you will) and I am a "household administrator." I also do some freelance writing and editing. I'm a Mormon. I can't skate backwards. I like fiction.
